Warbird Information Exchange

Chesapeake Airways had a large number of surplus spares for many military aircraft.
I hope they are still available. They are located in Chesapeake MD, right near the small airport.
If anyone has a project or would like to accumulate spares (Corsair, S-2, P-2 parts plus more), good source to check.
Not highly promoted and thus I hate to see them fade away with the spares. I got a large batch of P-51 brakes from them.
[This company had the Florida(?) S-2 airframes that were scrapped.]

My last contact info was:
Chas. White, ChesapeakeAirways 410-430-7992. Whites_ent@hotmail.com

Just FYI,

Vlado,

How long ago did you contact somebody there? I found their website last summer and at that time there was a Salisbury, MD address. I tried to contact them on the off-chance they may have had some information on the final disposition of the F2G "Miss Port Columbus". This aircraft was allegedly burned for practice at Salisbury-Wicomico Airport just 25 miles from my house.

The phone number on the website was no good (410-555-1212 ), emails were unanswered as well as a letter sent in the mail.

Brrring. Dispersal? TWO SECTIONS SCRAMBLE!!

I was there 25 years ago looking at T-6 parts, Lance bought all of that from Sam. He had parts there and told me he had a lot of stuff stored at Pensacola also.

All that is left of that F2G is the data plate and the paperwork. I believe the person who took over after Sam died was trying to sell the id, but I imagine he wanted a hefty sum. Would be cool to see her resurrected though.

Yes, Sam did have a bunch of T-6/SNJ stuff stored in Pensacola, but I believe most/all of it was scrapped about 5-6 years ago. I remember reading about a mass scrapping of T-6 stuff back then. Supposedly it was riddled with corrosion due to decades of outside storage in salty air. Sad.
